Susan Bartlett's Chicken Spaghetti

Chicken Spaghetti

Ingredients:

3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup water
1/2 onion chopped

1 package dry spaghetti sauce mix

2 small or 1 large can cream of chicken soup

1 stick of butter

8 oz pkg of cream cheese

Directions:

1. Put first 4 ingredients in a slow cooker for and cook on low 5-6 hours.
2. Then add cream of chicken soup and butter (margarine will work but it's not as good) Stir it in till the butter is melted.
3. Shred the chicken. *You can let it continue to cook or go directly to the next step.
4. An hour before serving, add cream cheese, stirring occasionally to incorporate the cheese.
5. Serve over thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta.

I have served it over regular noodles and it's just not the same.  Sounds funny, I know but it's so much better with the thin spaghetti noodles.  My husband doesn't like angel hair so I stick with the thin spaghetti.

The sauce makes a lot so you can either boil a 16 oz package of noodles and add it to the sauce or just boil enough noodles for your dinner and freeze the rest of the sauce for another night.  Probably makes 12 good servings.

I fed the missionaries last night and they could not get enough of this.  The only reason they stopped was because I had to save some for my son that was coming home from a Scout trip.  They had 3rds, my boys had 2nds and it was gone.  It feeds a large family or a medium sized one with plenty of leftovers........unless you are feeding the missionaries.  LOL

*Stacie says: "I cooked my 3 frozen chicken breasts on high for 3 hours, took them out and shredded them in my Kitchenaid, and then put the chicken in the fridge until the rest of the sauce was ready. My chicken was tender and most, and not overcooked or dry, which is what normally happens when chicken is left in the slow cooker for a long time. Once I added the cooled chicken back to the sauce, it took less than 5 minutes to bring it back to a heated stage. :)
